Our home just gained a shiny new HP laptop, which was immediately upgraded to Windows 10.
Much of the last tweny-four hours has been consumed by two tasks: making it print to an HP printer networked to our router, and moving email from Windows Live Mail on an XP box to the same program on the W10 machine.
If I run into a Linux problem (or even Android) I can usually visit a forum or other resource and get an answer in a few minutes. With Windows I'm Googling madly and chasing many more dead ends than useful answers.
And yes, that not surprisingly includes Microsoft's own sites.
So Soylentils, what are your go-to places for good-quality Windows 10 information?

You really should be using IMAP for email, it is a lot less hassle when switching mail clients and you can use it on multiple machines.
For Office you can just copy the files onto a USB stick and install from that, it doesn't need to be installed from a CD. Also CD/DVD drives can be shared over the network, it's a convenient option if you don't have a USB drive handy, though it probably won't work for any programs that check for the disk as copy protection.
